Boston: where to start exploring the city? If you are planning a summer experience in the USA, Boston is one of those cities where it is easy to combine a study or work program with a clear weekend itinerary. A good first stop is Boston Common , the oldest city park in the USA. After your journey, you can take a relaxing stroll along the paths, have a picnic, and head out to the Freedom Trail to see the historic city center. Address: 139 Tremont St, Boston, MA 02111, USA. Boston is particularly interesting because of the nearby university environment, museums, waterfronts, and short routes around New England. It makes for a packed, yet not overwhelming, seasonal plan. For those who have already been to Boston: what places would you add to the itinerary after Boston Common and the Freedom Trail?

BOSTON Boston struck me with its resemblance to England in the smallest details. This city is amazing in how it harmoniously combines old buildings, churches, and cathedrals with centuries of history alongside modern glass buildings and offices. Boston possesses its own unique charm, its own atmosphere, and an inexplicable energy emanating from the ancient buildings of the 17th and 18th centuries. The capital of Massachusetts is not as noisy or crowded as New York or Chicago, but it is definitely full of life: interesting, mysterious, and filled with the secrets of past centuries. Must-visit places in Boston (with addresses): Boston Common Park (139 Tremont St, Boston) Charles River Esplanade — an incredibly picturesque place in Boston, offering a panoramic view of the city (Charles River Esplanade, Boston, MA 02116) Old North Church (193 Salem St, Boston, MA 02113) Trinity Church (206 Clarendon St, Boston, MA 02116) Boston Public Library (700 Boylston St, Boston, MA 02116) Massachusetts State House (24 Beacon St, Boston, MA 02133) Old State House (206 Washington St, Boston, MA 02109) Quincy Market. The pavilion houses shops, market stalls, eateries, and souvenir shops. You can often see street performers and musicians here (4 S Market St, Boston, MA 02109) Granary Burying Ground — an old city cemetery founded in 1660. It contains the graves of famous figures of the American Revolution, including the graves of S. Adams, J. Hancock, and R. T. Paine (Tremont St, Boston, MA 02108)

A long road... We got some sleep :) We were ready for our last stop) We found the nearest restroom again to freshen up. By the third day, dry shampoo came in handy :D And so, refreshed, we continued our journey) First, we walked around the city, visited the old part of town, and just soaked in the city's vibe) Then we headed to the place that everyone surely visits – Harvard)) It was very interesting to see it with our own eyes, go into the university store, and just see the life of an elite university. Most of the students at this university are Asian, as they are very diligent and smart! Getting in there is really very difficult. Freshmen live on campus, while upperclassmen live in apartments) We liked it there a lot, spent a long time taking a good photo in the background)) After Harvard, we enjoyed the street hustle and bustle. People were painting pictures, dancing, and singing on the street. The city is very lively and dynamic. We had coffee at Starbucks with a view of this beauty. Next, we headed to a very beautiful park (Boston Common). An amazing place! We spent a lot of time there. We fed ducks, chased squirrels, watched the lake and the people passing by. We saw a stroller with 6 children)) that was something)) Definitely, when you are in Boston, go there. In general, Boston is a very green city, very beautiful. Then we walked along the Freedom Trail. By the end, we were tired. We walked a lot. So we didn't really go anywhere else, just walked around. Boston captivated me like no other city. I felt so good, so cozy, so soulful in it. I felt like I merged with this city. For me, it was magical... Boston – you are like a stuffed toy to me, which I wanted to hug and not let go... You beckon... You seem so familiar... Thank you.... Then we ran for the bus because we were late. It was a race that I still remember to this day... We ran with all our might. First, we looked for the station itself, then the place where the bus departs. As a result, we made it. Around 2 AM we were in Hyannis. We were home around 3. We went to bed almost immediately, we had no strength left at all. The only horror for us was that we had work tomorrow. But... ta-da-da... it rained in the morning!!! We were the happiest and slept until the very evening, and then crawled out of our burrows to share our impressions with our friends. The people we worked with became real friends to us) So we returned to our work atmosphere... But what it was like for me... my job... Before I tell you about crazy Miami, I want to share a little bit of my feelings, emotions, and sensations from my home place, West Yarmouth... Soon...

It's been a month since I last wrote. A long time. Honestly, I wouldn't even be writing now if it weren't for what happened to me today. But first things first. Work isn't a wolf... Working is good. Especially once you get used to it and settle in. Both in the country and at work. It's easy to tell when you've settled in—you stop feeling like you're 'living in a movie' and the constant smiles don't make much of an impression on you anymore. Besides, not everyone here smiles or says hello. Getting used to work happens, but it depends on the type of job. I got lucky with my job because at the very least, I get to talk to Americans, which is definitely a plus. On the other hand, I have to run around a lot with food, orders, etc. Being a waiter isn't bad at all, but I couldn't do it for the rest of my life. We have about 5-6 waitresses, mostly immigrants from different countries, who work at the restaurant full-time. It's not fun, let me tell you. But as a seasonal job, it's great. You need good English for that, at the very least... Now, closer to the smiling Americans and a bit more about the USA, and then to today's events. The Dark Side of the Moon People are the same everywhere. Whether in Russia or the USA. The only difference is that if you smile at everyone everywhere in the USA, it's normal. At work, it's actually very encouraged. In Russia, nobody cares. I don't know how people will look at me on the subway when I get back home, but the thought of it just makes my smile wider. A little American note. Actually, here in Massachusetts, even though people smile much more often than in our vast Motherland, there are plenty of individuals you don't even want to look at. In particular, one American cook at my restaurant—all the world's sorrow is reflected on her face EVERY DAY. I don't know how one can live with a face like that :) In general, Massachusettsans (if you can call them that :D), and all other New Englanders, are considered stuffy and hypocritical by all other Americans because they don't smile as much. Maybe it's a stereotype, maybe not. I also went to Boston—a beautiful, calm city. It was nice to be there after the American countryside. A beautiful park, people sunbathing—a smaller, not a copy, but rather the 'mother' of Central Park in NY. Boston Common—the Boston park—is the oldest public park in the USA. We walked around Chinatown a bit, felt like we were somewhere between China, Japan, Korea, and Thailand :) There are a lot of monuments in Boston—to the founding fathers, those who died in the Civil War, those who died in the War of Independence. It's interesting to see how old buildings sit next to huge skyscrapers. Near Boston is Cambridge (not the Cambridge in England, but the Cambridge where Harvard is located)—it's a separate world. A world where there are few cars and a lot of bicycles. Where it's quiet, where students gather in cafes in the evening, where old buildings built in the 17th century sit next to new, ultra-modern buildings, where musicians play guitars on the streets. Here you feel that this is the place where you would want to study. Honestly, I was wildly jealous of the guys and girls playing volleyball in their dorm courtyard (there was even a pool!). Who wouldn't be jealous, right? :) We wanted to go into the Harvard museums, but they were already closed—it was too late. After saying goodbye to quiet Cambridge, where squirrels were running brazenly through the park along with people doing their evening jogs, we got on the subway, which is called a 'train' here because it comes to the surface, rode to South Station, which is a 3-in-1 here—subway station, train station, and bus terminal, and left, but I will definitely come back here again—for the sake of the museums and for MIT. Don't let it get to you Now directly to what prompted (or rather, who prompted) me to write this page. Today was my first (and last) day at my second job. According to the official version told by my manager, this j
